11 Bowen Cres, Burwood East VIC 3151

4-bed 1997 detached house on compact 360m² lot | 164m² internal with 2 bathrooms and 2-car garage | desirable school catchment for families | solar system and modern finishes included This property occupies a specific niche in Burwood East: a late-1990s detached house built for efficient family living on a compact lot. Its 164m² floorplate on 360m² of land provides more internal space than typical townhouses while keeping external maintenance modest. The 2-car remote garage, built-in robes, floorboards, and outdoor entertaining area meet core family requirements, and the newly installed solar system adds practical appeal. The strongest competitive advantage is its positioning within the Burwood East Primary School and Mount Waverley Secondary College zone, which consistently drives buyer demand. This property serves best for families seeking a low-maintenance house with strong school access, for upgraders moving from smaller dwellings, or for downsizers wanting a house rather than an apartment. The compact 360m² land size may constrain future expansion or appeal to buyers seeking larger outdoor space. The 1997 build year means systems like roofing, plumbing, and electrical are approaching 30 years in service, so condition of these elements should be verified. The inconsistency in reported bedroom counts across databases suggests potential for discrepancy between listing presentation and title records. The property’s value may be influenced more by school catchment strength and floorplan efficiency than by land size alone, which could limit capital growth relative to larger-block houses in the area.
